Before you hit the ground running, fueling your body will be the foundation to any successful workout. It’s any lifter’s worst session when they hit the wall – glycogen stores depleted and muscles starved for nutrients. To be on top of your lifting game, you have to feed your body with the right foods both pre – and post-workout.

Sumo deadlifts, conventional deadlifts , beyond the range (from a deficit), rack pulls - it doesn’t matter, just do them. The back not only works antagonistically to stabilize the torso (and spine) it works to lock out the weight to finish the movement. Deadlifts, by definition, are an exercise where you can move big weight .

Now I’m seeing how deeply and profoundly that same spirit of generosity is helping him. Yesterday, sick with a cold and shingles, ill and weak from chemotherapy, he barely get out of bed. He was pale, listless, and had no energy for anything, and had to be coaxed to the table for meals. Then he got a gift and a call from his idol, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. He lit up when he opened the package, nearly in tears from delight. After the call, he was smiling and laughing. And this morning, he got up out of bed on his own. Insisted on doing his physical therapy exercises. Went for the longest walk he’s accomplished in weeks, a sparkle back in his eyes, color in his cheeks, and a smile on his face—all because of how his spirits had been lifted by an act of kindness.

Add the farmer’s walk to your cardio regimen. Hold moderate to heavy dumbbells at your sides with your abs pulled and take long strides, walking until you can no longer grip the dumbbells. Rest 90 seconds each time you fail and then go again, striding for 10-20 minutes total. This gives you the calorie burning of cardio while increasing your grip and core strength.

The equipment you purchase will be based on how much available space you have and how much your budget allows for. If you have a two-car garage and a big budget you can build an insane gym. By the same token if you have a small room and a small budget you can still construct a gym that will give you awesome results.

Squats are the king of leg exercises. It’s a natural body movement that incorporates flexion at all major lower body joints, causing max overload of the major muscles of the body. Increasing your squat strength will result in greater development throughout your entire lower body. Use the tried and true 5X5 method and focus on increasing weight each session to maximize this movement.

When it comes to building sheer mass, there is no better exercise than the barbell cheat curl. I would start the movement with a barbell at thigh level, shoulder-width grip, and nudge it into motion with a slight “kick” from my body. I’d choose a weight that was too heavy for me to curl using strict form, but not so heavy that I had to rely solely on body English to get the weight from point A to point B. The idea behind cheat curls is to get the barbell past your sticking points and let your muscles get stressed fully at the points where they would normally find the exercise easy. Because you’re stronger during the negative phase of a lift, the heavier weight used for cheat curls also lets you work the biceps during the all-important downward half of the movement.

'Tis the season to let loose, but few things are worse than throwing back one too many celebratory drinks, only to wake up with bloodshot eyes and a pounding headache. Not to worry: With the help of New York City-based dietitian Tanya Zuckerbrot, M.S., R.D., we’ve gathered the 10 best foods and drinks to alleviate holiday hangover headaches. If you want to stay well into the New Year, keep these items on hand to ease post-party pain.

Bodybuilders know that eating multiple meals a day leads to better leaning out. You end up with more muscle mass and less bodyfat than you do when eating the same number of calories per day in fewer meals. In terms of appetite control, spreading food intake over six to eight daily meals can also have a huge impact on your appetite. Every time you eat — even a very small meal — the appetite center of the brain is stimulated, relaxing a sometimes-urgent appeal for more food or an overwhelming desire to eat. Eating constantly — within your daily calorie requirements, of course — will tame your appetite and help accelerate the loss of bodyfat.

pushing too much from the base of the palm (closer to the wrist) can lead to nerve irritation . Use of extraordinarily tight wrist wraps or lifting straps can also lead to carpal tunnel compression and subsequent CTS. Forceful flexion of the wrists during lifting movements can cause shooting pains or “zings” from compression of the nerve, hinting toward improper form.

Thursday, December 24, 2015 - Everyone seems to be running on a different frequency than you, yet you're not motivated to catch up with them now. However, you can't just take yourself out of the game and expect your friends to willingly play without you. The most effective solution to this dilemma is to simply share your feelings. Engaging in an honest dialogue will take all of you to common ground where you can operate without any unexpressed agendas. Being true to yourself encourages others to do the same.

"Obviously this is not ideal," Glaude says. "What I would have wanted after losing 160 pounds ... is the perfect body, right? But that's not the case, and that's okay. You should never let loose skin or anything else stop you from going for your dreams. My dreams are to be really happy in my skin. And I am, loose skin and all."
